Quick travel: I rely on the childbirth system to pamper my harem
Chapter 524: The General's Mansion Madam and the Frontier God of War 26
But, is Xueyan’s mind really so simple?
Yu Qingning's eyes fell on her and he looked at her carefully. "Cousin, it's not that I won't make the decision for you, but this matter is a big deal after all, and I'm not familiar with the men in the capital. Why don't you ask mother for help?"
"I don't know which family my cousin has taken a fancy to. Shall we go to mother's place now and discuss it properly?"
Without waiting for Xueyan to speak, Yu Qingning walked over, grasped her hand and walked out familiarly: "I'm going to the Plum Garden to pay my respects to my mother, cousin, would you like to come with me?"
Xueyan struggled a bit, but Yu Qingning held her tightly.
She could only force a smile and said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to be so anxious, right?"
"But it's not me who is anxious, it's you, my cousin. If you weren't so eager to get married, why would you disturb someone's sleep so early in the morning?" Yu Qingning smiled, "So sister-in-law can't delay your business."
The two of them walked all the way to the plum garden. Xue had just woken up and was washing up.
Xueyan wanted to run away several times, but Yu Qingning held her clothes tightly until Xue came out of the house.
Seeing the two of them coming so early, Xue was a little surprised and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Aunt, Yan'er..."
Yu Qingning quickly interrupted Xueyan and said with a smile, "Mother, I was just sleeping and heard my cousin talking. I woke up and asked her. It turned out that my cousin wanted me to help her find a good family."
"But I don't know the sons of the families in the capital well, so I brought my cousin to find my mother. My cousin said she was embarrassed to ask my mother for something, but I know that my mother loves my cousin and will definitely do it better than me."
Xueyan's face became increasingly ugly.
She didn't expect Yu Qingning to explain the matter so flawlessly that she had no chance of defending herself!
"Really?" Xue looked at Xueyan with surprise on her face. Her expression was full of astonishment.
Xueyan hesitated and refused to speak.
"My cousin must have gotten up so early to look for my daughter-in-law, but she is too shy to say it directly. Actually, my daughter-in-law is quite curious about which man my cousin misses so much."
The more he spoke, the more solemn Xue's expression became.
She looked around and luckily this was in the Plum Garden where all the people were her confidants, otherwise if such words got out, it would be bad for Xueyan's reputation.
Xueyan hated Yu Qingning in her heart and blamed her for being too talkative, but she was not actually looking for trouble.
At the banquet, she did fall in love with a man.
Originally, she had her eyes on the third place winner, who was the man with the best prospects for development with her status, but he was chosen by the princess, and she couldn't possibly compete with the princess.
"Who is it?" Xue asked seriously.
Xueyan smiled apologetically and said delicately, "It's... Wen Xiangli, the youngest son of the Wen family."
Xue's eyes sank slightly, and she said thoughtfully: "The Wen family is a good family."
It's just that she is too good. Xueyan is not worthy of her in terms of family background.
Yu Qingning looked at Xueyan coldly. Xueyan was quite perceptive. The Wen family, like the Yu family, was also a noble and prestigious family. However, the difference between the Wen family was that they had a sister who was a royal concubine.
That is Concubine Li’s maternal family.
Concubine Li is deeply loved and is the mother of Prince Chen. Prince Chen was saved by Yu Qingning. Xueyan suddenly mentioned the Wen family, and it is not known whether it was an intentional or unintentional calculation.
"Really? Aunt thinks so too?" Xueyan felt that Xue agreed with her, and the smile on her face widened.
Although the Wen family is not as powerful as the Fang family, she has no way to marry into the Fang family. So as a second choice, the Wen family is also an option, in case King Chen ascends the throne in the future.
Then the Wen family is the real royal family, and her status and position will also rise.
Mrs. Xue was not as happy as Xueyan imagined. She said in a deep voice, "The second son of the Wen family, I'm afraid you can't enter the Wen family with your status. The Wen family has always been aloof and arrogant, and they pay the most attention to family background. Yan'er, it's not that your aunt is trying to stop you, but your aunt wants to ask you, the reason you chose the Wen family is because Prime Minister Wen chose you?"
The smile on Xueyan's face faded a little, and her fingers clenched so tightly that they almost turned white.
From the very beginning, Xue said she would make the decision for her.
She thought that she was to marry as the daughter of the Fang family, but now that Xue said so, it was obviously not the case. Did she misunderstand?
Even Yu Qingning looked at Xue with some surprise, then silently looked away.
"What's wrong?" Xue raised her eyebrows.
Xueyan said awkwardly, "Mr. Wen did write me a letter, gave me a folding fan, and discussed marriage with me."
"Since he is interested in you, let him propose marriage. Your aunt will take care of the rest of the dowry for you and make sure you get married in style."
Xue was quite satisfied with the Wen family.
I just don’t know what the Wen family’s attitude towards Xueyan is. This is something she needs to consider.
Xueyan's face turned pale, and she said coldly: "But..."
"But what?"
Xueyan said with embarrassment: "But where can he go to propose marriage? Yan'er is at Fang's house now. Should he come to Fang's house or Xue's house?"
"You are a girl from the Xue family, so naturally you should go to the Xue family." Xue did not hesitate.
Xueyan's face turned even paler.
The reason why Wen Xiangli flattered her was because he saw the Zhongfang family as being useful to Prince Chen in his fight for the throne in the future. If he knew that she was just the daughter of the Xue family, Wen Xiangli would definitely take back all the gifts he had given her before.
"Yan'er, why do you look so unhappy?" Xue noticed something was wrong and asked.
Xueyan was silent for a while, then said hastily, "Aunt, the Xue family has long been defeated, and there is no place for Yan'er to stay. If the Wen family knew about Yan'er's situation in the Xue family, wouldn't they look down on Yan'er?"
Hearing this, Yu Qingning glanced at the two of them lightly.
Xueyan was full of calculations, and every word she said had a purpose. As the mistress of the Fang family, Xue must have been able to hear it.
It depends on whether she values family affection or the Fang family.
"Since you are going to get married, there are some things that must be made clear. Otherwise, there will be misunderstandings or disputes between husband and wife, which will damage the relationship in the future."
Mrs. Xue seemed not to understand Xueyan's hint and patted her hands: "Okay, Yan'er, if Wen Xiangli is really interested in you, he will definitely go to the Xue family to propose marriage. If he has no such intention, there is no need to mention it again."
Xueyan frowned slightly, and many of her sweet words were stuck in her throat.
In the end, I couldn't even keep up the smile on my face.
"Let's have a meal together."
Yu Qingning gently agreed: "Yes."
After dinner, Xueyan left the plum garden in a daze, and Yu Qingning was stopped by Xue.
"Do you know why I kept you here?"
Yu Qingning smiled faintly: "Mother should want to discuss my cousin's marriage with her daughter-in-law."
Xue said calmly, "Ning Niang, I have raised Xueyan so high up these years that she has forgotten her own status. She wanted to use the status of the Fang family to marry Wen Xiangli, but she never thought that what is hers will be hers without any deception."
"Besides, the Wen family and Concubine Li are closely related. If Xueyan is involved with them, the Fang family will no longer be able to stand cleanly above the mud."
